HC Deb 27 April 1950 vol 474 c119W
75. Mr. Frederick Elwyn Jones

asked the Minister of Health whether, in view of the decision to increase the completion rate of houses to 200,000 a year, he will make arrangements to ensure that housing priority is now given to the areas with the greatest need—namely, the bomb-damaged areas.

Mr. Bevan

The extent of the need, due to war damage, is one of the factors already taken into account in making allocations to individual local authorities.
